Odessa anti-Maidan activists to hold rallies against civil war in Ukraine June 1

ODESSA, May 29. /ITAR-TASS/. Anti-Maidan activists in Ukraine’s Odessa plan to organize on June 1 mass rallies to protest against the civil war in the country and repression unleashed by the Kiev authorities, Artem Davidchenko, the leader of the Odessa People’s Militia public organization, said on Thursday.

“We want to express our protest against the civil war and repression,” he said. “The government of oligarchs has unleashed a civil war, setting people on to fight with each other to bind people up with blood and make them slaves to the unfair system. We see that Maidan has made no good to Ukraine but only triggered a fratricidal war.”
